Synopsis
Excerpt from Foundations and Concrete Works: Containing a Synopsis of the Principal Cases of Foundation Works, With the Usual Modes of Treatment, and Practical Remarks on Footings, Planking, Sand, Concrete, Beton, Pile-Driving, Caissons, and Cofferdams
Art of Building; Principles of Brick-making and the Manufacture of Bricks and Tiles; On Masonry and Stone-cutting, and on Foundations and Concrete Works, is the best test of their practical utility. There are few manuals, designed specially for the use of work men, that have achieved greater success. In the preface to the former edition Mr. Dobson called the attention of those readers who may not have purchased the Art of Building to the fact of the present volume being written in continuation of the chapter in that work devoted to the subject of Foundations, and intended to give further information on those parts of the subject which could then only be touched upon very briefly. He added, I may also observe, that many subjects which are treated of very fully in other volumes of the Rudimentary Treatises are here for that reason left unnoticed, or are merely glanced at in a cursory manner; as, for example, the blasting of rocks, the nature and properties of limes and cements, the construction of travelling and other cranes, and of hoisting machinery in general.
